Queensland’s coasts are nesting grounds for several sea turtle species, including green, loggerhead, and hawksbill turtles.

Every year, turtles return to the same beaches to lay eggs, continuing a cycle that has lasted for millions of years.

Mon Repos and Heron Island are key locations for turtle conservation, offering visitors unique opportunities to witness nesting and hatching.

These encounters highlight the fragility of marine ecosystems and inspire conservation efforts across Queensland’s coastline.
